Alpha’s Badass Mate novel

---- We are sorry "Tm lots of fun," Alex said with a pout, letting go of her to go find his phone. "Look, I'm about to call my sister and tell her, 'Oh, by the way, I have a kid who's the same age as your own; it happened when I left my mate because of my shitty father.' That's going to be all kinds of fun. What do you think, baby?" "You're right, it's really fun.

I want her to kill you, or at least kick your ass really hard," Ashly said while clapping her hands, then bouncing down onto the bed and gazing up at her mate expectantly. "Put it on speaker. I want to hear her chew you out. Or let's record it so we can hear it whenever we want. What do you say, baby?" Alex did one better and video -called her instead. She was visibly ready to scold him when she answered , until she spotted Ashly next to him.

She already knows what Ashly looks like; Alex shows her his pictures, and Ashly is also a famous. businesswoman. And as an omega, Ashly was the first to achieve many things in her life. "Oh my God, Ashly!" she exclaimed, waving enthusiastically. "I always want to meet you as a person! How are you? Did my stupid brother explain ---- what happened? I didn't know what was going on with my stepbrother's family , you know, and I was pregnant , you know.

I want to have Alex go back to you, but mom is already dead and his ass grandfather is doing shite to them, and then the baby came early and the company was a mess. Alex really helped us out so much, but you got neglected because of it." Ashly leaned against Alex's side and smiled at her stepmother. "It's alright , miss. The most important thing is that you and your son are safe and healthy." She put a hand to her chest and said, "Ah, you're angry. Please forgive me.

I really was too careless ." "T'm not angry, miss," Alex tried to insist. "You are!" she cried. "You must be angry if you're still calling me Miss. You should call me Zia, or better, big sister." Ashly's blush was very cute, as was the way she ducked her head as she mumbled, "It's really alright.. big sister." She devolved into cooing over how adorable she was. Alex couldn't even blame her because he had the same urge. But he was within punching range, so he contained himself.

After a moment, Alex managed to interrupt, "Zia, there's something I need to tell you." "Ts it that you've finally fixed things with your mate? ---- It took you long enough. Honestly, I don't know what you've been doing all this time." She lowered her voice, clearly imitating Alex: "'My mother was sick. My sister had a baby. I wanted to come back, but everything was a mess because my father is an ass.' See? It's that easy." "Zia," Alex sighed , feeling fond and exasperated at the same time.

He didn't even know how to begin telling her this. But then he heard the pattering of little feet in the hallway. "There's something else." Adom burst into the room, calling, "Dad, Mum, I played in the sandbox, and grandpa helped me build a castle that was this high!" He gestured expansively with his arms, attempting to demonstrate just how large the castle had been.

"And then I found some ants, and I went down the slide, and I got a rock in my shoe, and then we came home." "Mm," Ashly replied, sitting forward to offer Adom his undivided attention. "Is your foot okay, sweetheart?" On the phone screen, Alex's eyebrows had risen way up. "Tt's fine," Adom said, trying to hold his little slippered foot up for Ashly's inspection . "Grandpa helped me get the rock out." Grandpa had been all kinds of helpful today, apparently.

Alex couldn't imagine the man sitting ina ---- sandbox in the suit he'd been wearing or picking a rock out of a child's tiny shoe. "What?" Alex's sister said She sounded a bit breathless. Adom put his foot back down and said, "Mum, Aunty says I have to take a bath. Will you help me?" "Of course I will, sweetheart," Alex promised, holding out a hand for him.

"But first, come here; there's someone I want you to meet." Adom shuffled over to him, and Alex pulled him up onto his knee, heedless of the sand that scattered from Adom's hair with the motion. Alex took a moment to adjust the angle of the phone he was holding and then said, "Zia, this is Adom. Adom, say hello to your beautiful aunt Zia." As Adom mumbled a shy greeting, sounding very much like his father just a few moments before, Alex's sister put a hand over her mouth.

It was hard to tell on the tiny, blurry phone screen, but Alex thought her eyes might be wet. "Oh, hello, Adom," she breathed. "Alex, is he?" Ashly leaned in again, brushing some sand from Adom's knees onto the floor. He glanced up at Alex and then at his sister before looking back down at his task. "Sorry, I didn't tell you sooner."
